I am trying to be patient because I 100% get that people are terrified but I am really struggling with all this knee-jerk public defeatism from other liberals and leftists right now

look i am also VERY prone to exceedingly bleak feelings and sentiments but i try to keep them to myself or to a small circle of friends because i do believe it is vital to eventual victory in long wars to try to keep each other’s spirits up

Most every time I post about politics nowadays, I get a number of replies from people saying stuff along the lines of “we’re all doomed and you’re a naive idiot if you aren’t cowering in a hole waiting for death.” Even if you feel utterly doomed, why are you trying to spread it to others?

At the same time, maybe they don’t want to feel upbeat with you. Just a thought. As for why people are defeatist, it’s because they know the reality. All the good feeling and upbeat thoughts will do nothing. There is nothing stopping them, not even Congress or SCOTUS.
